Liquid Wind receives support from Industriklivet, the Swedish Energy Agency’s program supporting Swedish industry’s green transition, amounting to €3.6 million (SEK39 million), for the pre-engineering of the company’s full-scale eMethanol plant in Örnsköldsvik, Sweden. 

The Swedish Energy Agency has assessed that the project will provide a solid foundation for Liquid Wind to move toward an investment decision for the planned eFuel facility. The project is expected to pave the way for a future investment that will significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions by replacing fossil fuels in hard-to-abate sectors such as shipping, aviation, and the chemical industry. 

According to the Agency, the project’s goals and research focus are well aligned with the purpose of Industriklivet — to drive the transition toward lower carbon emissions and a more sustainable industrial sector.
